STAR stands for: Situation.Task.Action.Result!

The Spinato’s RockSTAR Award, implemented in March 2015, is an honor given to one restaurant manager each month that shows exemplary decision-making and leadership skills.

We select a manager who we believe has shown that he/she is able to confront a Situation or Task, take Action to handle the circumstances, and anticipate the impact (Result) of those actions taken. Our RockSTARs not only do what is expected of them, but go above and beyond when making decisions that affect not only themselves and the restaurant, but their employees and our valued guests.

This month’s RockSTAR might look familiar….and it’s because she’s such a RockSTAR, we had to pick her twice! Our kitchen manager at Central Phoenix, Casey Tyler, has once again blown us away with her high levels of awesomeness. We’ve had a lot going on, with a new menu rollout, new bar menu, leadership trainings – you name it, we’ve been busy with it! And Casey has been there every step of the way.

Casey has not hesitated to lend a helping hand (or eight), even on top of her already heavy workload. She’s even volunteering her time on our charity golf tournament committee! Casey is the epitome of what we call “servant leadership” – she will do anything to help without any thought of herself. We know it’s part of the reason she keeps the kitchen running smoothly and is a great manager to look up to.

Casey, we really can’t thank you enough for all you do. Keep on rockin’ it out, girl!
